Guess where in Thanet the picture was taken

time wise probably mid 60s

On to earlier times
This photo shows the crowds on Ramsgate sands before 1860 The coastguard station station bottom right was demolished before 1860

link to the 1849 map which helps sort this out

Busy day today on the sands

So busier than before 1960?

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
